When I am photographing at fashion weeks, I often wonder what models are really like. I think most seem incredibly nice (and patient!) especially with all the photographers around. Anyway, I got to have a little chat with Dorothea Barth Jorgensen after the Lagom show in Stockholm and I can confirm that she is super, super sweet, and her feet have remained firmly planted on the ground despite all her success. You can check out her blog, Displaced Bones, here.

I spent 2 nights in Stockholm at the beginning of the week photographing at fashion week. It was my second time in Stockholm and it has left me wanting more.....

Highlights?

Dinner (two nights in a row!) at Restaurant Sturehof. We tried to get into PA&Co one night but it was booked out. If you visit Restaurant Sturehof make sure you try the Swedish crayfish and the poached cod with brown butter and horseradish. Delicious.

A trip on the archipelago in a speedboat. So much fun and it was lovely seeing all the gorgeous little Swedish summer houses dotted around the islands. I would love to spend a week just puttering around the different islands on a boat

The Acne stores (of course!)

The Elle pop-up store and cafe in Stureplan (great coffee and pastries)

The Byredo store (I am still obsessed with the Pulp and Rose Noire fragrances since I smelt them in Barney's in New York last year)

The Italian coffee shop in Stureplan (not sure of the name but it is near Urban Outfitters) where I went with Caroline and Daniel from Stockholm Streetstyle

All the girls I photographed in Stockholm (so friendly, pretty and stylish!)
